Global: IFC and AgCert: Partnering to Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions
IFC responds to the challenge of climate change by investing in sustainable energy and projects that reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, supporting the carbon finance market, and driving innovation in clean energy.


Global: IFC and Carbon Finance: Building for the future
The ever increasing emissions of carbon dioxide—the most common of "greenhouse gases" (GHGs)—are contributing significantly to changes in temperature. IFC has been pioneering carbon finance programs to support the flexible trading mechanisms of the Kyoto Protocol, an international agreement entered into force this year that calls for reductions in GHG emissions.


Global: IFC Goes Carbon Neutral on World Environment Day
On June 5, 2006, World Environment Day, the whole World Bank Group becomes "carbon neutral." From this day forward, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from its headquarters, staff commuting, and all operational travel will be offset through investments in renewable energy and energy efficiency, and through the purchase of verified emissions reductions from projects in developing countries.
